Egretta alba

This morning as I rode my bike to work, I passed the wetlands area where Red-winged Blackbirds, Canadian Geese and other native birds are plentiful, at least in the spring and summer. Occasionally a Great Blue Heron will be standing motionless. This morning, there were two egrets fishing in the shallow water. Although it may not be apparent in this small photo, and quite by accident, the picture has an impressionistic quality, especially the greenery surrounding the bird.
